Yes you have to take the bumper off. I had no under tray and I have pulled the bumper many times so I know how to do it now easily.

I would say start to finish is 30 min

5 min for bumper off
10 min for wiring
10 min for mounting the ballasts
5 min for bumper back on

Although it has only been 1 day, I went out for several hours last night and I think this is the best $98 I have spent on my car so far.

I got the 8000k and I would advise against it. They look awesome when your looking at the car, but you cant see as well when driving as with the 5600k or the 6000k. They are still much better than the factory halogens.

Personally, I hate the look of blue or purple colored HID's.

I went with 5k because it was as close to stock as I could get.

I think headlights should be about light output, and not about looks.

I bought this same kit. I cant even get the lights to work. Can you please tell me how you wired them. I thought I have tried the only ways you can wire them up...but still no light =\ I am very frustrated because I have taken my bumper and headlight off 3 or 4 times and each time I was putting my bumper back on knowing I still dont have HID's. I need some assistance please!

6000k is a perfect color. it has a hint of blue, but is still really bright. i installed 6000k's on my bike and my MR already came with HID's. i think they're 6000k as well.

looks like a sweet deal, and i think i'm gonna get me some, but for the love of God, can this seller on eBay learn to spell/speak??? :::

our temperature of left and right sides is just beginning to transfer whitest to the blue colour temperature slightly , the human eye is easy to accept, difficult to be tired, improve the security , but the halogen light is relatively bad.
lol....

You may have to reverse the wires on the HID kit for the plug that goes into your stock wiring harness. I had to do this with my kit, but then it worked fine.
